Exclusive | Hunter Bidens $3M house appears untouched while every neighboring home was burned to ash after he called it unlivable due to LA wildfires
The $3 million rental home Hunter Biden claims is now “unlivable” after the California wildfires — leaving him broke and unable to continue a 2023 lawsuit he filed — appears unscathed even as all the homes around it burned to the ground.The former first son, 55, was living in the four-bedroom Malibu home with his wife, Melissa, and their son, Beau, when the raging Palisades Fire tore through his neighborhood in January, sources confirmed to The Post.The wildfire made the property “unlivable for an extended period of time,” Hunter claimed in a motion filed in federal court in California on Wednesday.“Like many others in that situation, [Hunter] has had difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live as well as finding it difficult to earn a living,” according to the filing.Current photos show the house still standing, while the rest of the neighborhood was razed by the fires that ripped throughout Los Angeles for much of January.It was not immediately clear whether the home sustained damage that is not visible — such as from the heat and smoke of the nearby fires.Hunter laid bare his financial woes in the court papers as he urged a judge to drop the laptop hacking lawsuit he filed against Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump White House aide, because he’s “millions of dollars” in debt.He claimed the debt, as well as dwindling sales of his artwork and memoir, prevented him from “litigating this case.” “So, [Hunter] must focus his time and resources dealing with his relocation, the damage he has incurred due to the fires, and paying for his family’s living expenses as opposed to this litigation,” the court papers charged.He argued his dire financial situation was only “exacerbated” by the deadly fires.
At the time of the fires, then-President Joe Biden said he wasn’t sure if his son Hunter’s property had survived the inferno.“It’s astounding what’s happening,” Biden said during a Jan.8.
